Metal fabricators deal with the selection, layout, shearing, cutting (with a torch), punching, drilling, forming, fitting and welding of steel plates and structural steel shapes into products for the forest, mining, construction, transportation and agricultural industries. Typical projects that involve metal fabricators include bridges, buildings, hoppers, conveyors, towers, cranes, heavy-mining equipment, logging equipment, and ship parts and equipment.
Alternatively if you are already indentured with the British Columbia Industry Training Authority (ITA), our seeking more information on the apprenticeship itself, check out our
Metal Fabricator Apprenticeship web page.
Basic theory and related information along with hands-on shop practice enable students to become competent in basic steel fabrication methods for products such as steel buildings, tanks and equipment.
Good hand/eye coordination and good physical condition are desirable. Potential students with medical or physical difficulties should contact Disability Resource Centre to arrange an interview (telephone interview if out of town) with the institute's rehabilitation specialist at 604-451-6963.
